Grow Wellington connects high growth export orientated businesses with the people, tools and knowledge they need to fulfil their potential. We inspire businesses to be world changing and we facilitate collaboration between complementary businesses.
As the Regional Economic Development Agency, Grow Wellington’s aim is to help create a strong and vibrant Wellington regional economy; to use the region’s natural talents and strengths on the world stage; and to help create a place that will be enjoyed by all who visit, work and live here.
We are funded by the Greater Wellington Regional Council in accordance with the Wellington Regional Strategy multi-party agreement which was signed by all the region's councils in late 2007.
The
Wellington Regional Strategy is a sustainable growth strategy that has been developed by greater Wellington's nine local authorities, in conjunction with central government and the region's businesses, education, research and voluntary sector interests. The aim is to make greater Wellington "internationally competitive".
We therefore work actively with the Kapiti Coast District Council, the Porirua City Council, Wellington City Council, Hutt City Council, Upper Hutt City Council, South Wairarapa Council, Carterton District Council and Masterton District Council.
